Palladio & Michelangelo

From the Paper:

" The purpose of this research is to examine classicist and anticlassicist features of sixteenth-century architecture, notably as evidenced in mannerist structures of the period. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which competing elements appear in such structures, and then to discuss, with reference to the architects Palladio and Michelangelo, both classicism and anticlassicism.
To discuss 16th-century architecture as at once classicist and anticlassicist, it is necessary to introduce the element of mannerism as what Hauser calls an "undercurrent" of style of the period. Mannerist works, whether architectural or strictly artistic, represent an abstraction from previous styles--in this case architectural classicism. But Hauser, who sees manneristic parallels between sixteenth- and twentieth-century design."
